User Reviews

2/9 - Monk's Pub (Chicago) Draft - Nice strong IPA, loved the fruity smell contrasting with a nice bitter taste. This was my first Begyle offering, and I hope to try their other offerings down the road. Will definately snag this beer when offered. Three word summary -Giggity, giggity, giggity.

Creamy texture, full bodied but fairly light going down, residual leafy green bitterness. Grapefruit peel and dandelion greens, white grapes with bitter seeds. Very well balanced for a near 10% abv, not overly sweet at all. This beer is giving me a renewed hope for Begyle, this is one of their best.

A: Copper, Orange. Hazy with some lingering head.
S: Amazing: Grapefruit, Mango, Citrus and Tropical. Some booze as well.
T: Harsh bitterness followed by sweetness and present alcohol. Tastes mostly tropical and almost a plastic like quality.
O: Loved the aroma but other than that I'm not sure I would buy this one again.

Batch #39. From the side of the bottle: "Quagmire is our biggest beer to date, brewed to commemorate the opening of our retail store. This American Double IPA comes in at 9.7% ABV and has been dry hopped twice with Galaxy and Mosaic hops."

A: thin film on the pour. color is orangish/ deep gold.

S: very sweet. ripe citrus. freshly peeled tangerine.

T: I've always heard people reference some DIPA/IIPAs as "sugar bombs" but never had one myself. That's pretty much the only way I can describe this beer. The great Mosaic and Galaxy (my personal favorite) hops are quickly overtaken by the sweetness and it leaves an extremely sugary aftertaste.

M: Pleasant mouthfeel, not too thin.

O: Good aroma. Had high hopes for this Galaxy and Mosaic dry-hopped DIPA from a newer local brewery. Unfortunately it's just too sugary/sweet and there's no way I'd be able to drink a full pour of this.

A: Pours a really light amber with some minor cloudiness. The head lingers and leaves nice lacing.

S: The citrus and sweetness of tropical fruits. Not too floral. A slight juniper/pine, but not overbearing. A slight maltiness that hides behind everything else.

T: A lot grapefruit , but without the bitter up front. As it settles the bitterness of the hops sets in and begin to get a carmel/toffee sweetness with some breadiness. For a high ABV beer, it is very deceptive. Very clean on the wash. No alcohol burn.

M: High viscosity, and sticky sweet.

O: Easily one of the top DIPAs I've had. It meets all the criteria you find in the top rated imperials. Lots of hops that are balanced with a good helping of malt. Goes down smooth, and leaves you wanting more.
